That would be an argument for allowing -M/-m on the #! line.
Er, except that the #! line would all have been read by then, and treated as a comment. Or have I got things confused?
I can't see how this would affect any perl script, since presumably not unix script has a cr hidden in a comment (and similarly for Mac script and lf), and even for DOS, the cr will terminate the comment and the lf will be an irrelevant white space (comments can't be inside anything that is storing white space, right?)
This would solve the #! commenting out the entire file issue, and allow the -M flag on the #! line to work.
Enjoy,
Peter.
